Ask your doctor if McCain is right for you
Consult your doctor if you elect a bonehead for more than four years.
The Republicans are working on “rebranding” themselves. This concept amuses me already, because it’s clearly based in marketing. They’re working on changing their image, rather than themselves, because clearly their underlying assumption is that they’re the Right Buncha Folks To Get Work Done, and the only problem is that the public misunderstands them. I mean somehow disregarding the fact that they’ve been running the country for the last seven years and it’s gone to shit, really anyone who buys gas or dies in a bridge collape or lives in a formaldehyde trailer can tell you how well they’ve done, but whatever.
Here’s a piece of the “leaked” message about the rebranding details, which really, my jaw just drops:
Washington is broken, the American people want it fixed, and Democrats in Washington have proven unable or unwilling to get the job done. Republicans will. Americans have seen first-hand the change Democrats are making, and it is moving America in the wrong direction. To the American people, we say that Republicans will deliver “the change you deserve.”
Uch. Yeah, the change we deserve. The change we deserve away from you. It’s just so…I mean, the change in the country because of Democrats? The part of that the Dems are actually responsible for is when they couldn’t find enough backbone to prevent the Republicans from doing whatever they wanted, ugh I just can’t even keep that in my head without getting all pissed about it.
But the fun part is, there’s some entertainment in building their brand around “the change we deserve”:

I just find it really sad that McCain won the nomination. I kinda like him and it’s gonna suck seeing him dragged throught the proverbial mud just to most likely lose.

So um, new definitions?
liberal:
–adj 1. disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, traditions, and to limit change
conservative:
–adj 1. favorable to progress or reform
Right, then.

Do we really need another fossil spending his retirement years in power? How about we CHANGE THAT.

Could be worse. McCain was the least batshit crazy of the Repub candidates. (Which is not to say McCain’s not batshit crazy. I’m just sayin’.)

(Been too long since I logged in on the SW forums, and I don’t even remember what e-mail account I attached my password to, so I figured I’d post this here instead.)
You heard Thel Keane died? Alzheimer’s.
Which means that she was in early-stage Alzheimer’s in the DFC’s glory days.
Damn well makes a lot of the DFC feel a bit different now.

Did she take Spinn with her or something?
*holds a mirror up to the site’s mouth*

I thought about putting this on the forum instead of here, but I am skeptical that Spinn would see it there.
Seems amusing.org was repossessed or reclaimed, or otherwise fell of the map. I guess that means it’s in the SW:Not working category now. Sad day.
Hope all is well otherwise, Spinn.
June 14th, 2008 22:55
Yeah, and I was just about to complain about the lack of updates at amusing.org. I had started creating an alternative site to amusing.org a little while ago. Now I guess I have more incentive to get it done.
June 15th, 2008 13:32
Does anyone know what’s going on with Spinn? I mean, used to the not-updating, but with the Amusing thing, we’ve passed into genuine concern now.
June 16th, 2008 09:30
Oh, hey. No, thanks for your concern, but I’ve just been busy with other things and haven’t had the time to 1) post things here or 2) remember to pay my domain bill for a.o.

Well our amusement is all that matters little man, and you’d do well to remember that.
